Example Spec - The title of your RFE

Include the URL of your launchpad RFE:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/kuryr/+bug/example-id

Introduction paragraph – why are we doing this feature? A single paragraph of prose that deployers, and developers, and operators can understand.

Do you even need to file a spec? Most features can be done by filing an RFE bug and moving on with life. In most cases, filing an RFE and documenting your design is sufficient. If the feature seems very large or contentious, then you may want to consider filing a spec.

Problem Description

A detailed description of the problem:

• For a new feature this should be use cases. Ensure you are clear about the actors in each use case: End User vs Deployer
• For a major reworking of something existing it would describe the problems in that feature that are being addressed.

Note that the RFE filed for this feature will have a description already. This section is not meant to simply duplicate that; you can simply refer to that description if it is sufficient, and use this space to capture changes to the description based on bug comments or feedback on the spec.

Proposed Change

How do you propose to solve this problem?

This section is optional, and provides an area to discuss your high-level design at the same time as use cases, if desired. Note that by high-level, we mean the “view from orbit” rough cut at how things will happen.

This section should ‘scope’ the effort from a feature standpoint: how is the ‘kuryr end-to-end system’ going to look like after this change? What Kuryr areas do you intend to touch and how do you intend to work on them? The list below is not meant to be a template to fill in, but rather a jumpstart on the sorts of areas to consider in your proposed change description.

You do not need to detail API or data model changes.

References

Please add any useful references here. You are not required to have any reference. Moreover, this specification should still make sense when your references are unavailable.
